My PADI Dive Stories

 

Cody’s first breath on scuba transformed her life and gave her a feeling of freedom that life in a wheelchair denied her.  “Diving showed me that nothing is impossible. It still quiets my fears and doubts and completely removes me from my disability element. I love the fact that I can help other people feel that too.”

Today, Cody is committed to helping people with all forms of spinal cord-related paralysis take the first step toward freedom and independence through scuba diving.

 

"My PADI is to create a better world. My PADI is how I discovered my new self. My PADI transformed my life and helps me transform the lives of others." 

PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor Leo Morales is a cancer survivor, a world record holder and a person who has transformed his life by diving. He shares his remarkable tale of triumph over adversity and why he considers himself “dive-abled”.

 

"No one wants to miss out on 72% of the world. Dont just stick to 28%. Go and explore the world."

PADI Course Director Thomas Koch can’t hear, but with scuba, his “disability” turns into an advantage. Why? When his daughter Claire got her Junior Open Water Scuba Diver certification with PADI Course Director Cristina Zenato, they talked as fluently and as much as they always do – underwater, using American Sign Language.
